After updating to Firefox 8.0 (Dec. 2011 version), FF will not open on my computer

No matter how many times I click the FF icon on my desktop, the program will not start. I've rebooted many times. I've reinstalled the program many times. I am at a loss.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5

  • After updating my iPad to ios7 my kindle cloud reader will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still won't open.

    After updating my iPad 2 to ios7, my kindle cloud reader will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't open.

    I am experiencing the same thing. My Kindle cloud reader (icon/shortcut placed on my iPad screen) was working fine before I updated to ios7. I can go to Amazon's website and directly log into the cloud reader and it works fine, but when I make a copy/shortcut onto my iPad's screen (from Safari), and try to login, the login screen just sits there doing nothing. I can even put in a false username and password, hit enter, and the login screen just sits there.  Knowing that Apple has made life as difficult as it can for Amazon/Kindle ( demanding outrageous fees for user to purchase books directly through the Kindle app), I wonder if the ios7 was designed to give kindle cloud readers trouble. Note, you could always login to the cloud reader directly from the amazon site, purchase the books, then use the actual kindle reader ( where thanks to Apple you can't purchase books) to read the books.

  • HT4993 After updating to iOS 6.1.3 my mail apps will not open. Help!

    My mail apps will not open the update. I have tried deleting my mail accounts and reinstalling, but still no luck. 

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
    Try a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..

    After automatically updating to 32.0.3 last Thursday and this Monday on all our Staff and Patron computers both Win7 pro and XP pro we have seen Firefox sessions that will not bring up the Print Dialog. The Print Preview dialog will come up but no print button or print menu item will bring up the Print Dialog. After you close Firefox and reopen it the Print Dialog box will work again for some time. The websites that Patron and Staff use during a session are different and done seem to be the cause. The Firefox settings are at fault because a simply restart of just Firefox fixes the issue and no other web browsers or application has any problem with displaying the Print Dialog at any time. Again this began on all the computers as soon as 32.0.3 was installed automatically over night.

    Hi NPLD,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that there are multiple computers that no longer have a working print dialogue after a while of using Firefox. However after a restart, the print dialogue continues to act normally.
    Does resetting the printing settings on the affected computers only temporarily change this as well?[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    I noticed it when I tested this page: [http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/1920s-home-before-after?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1451_94608649#slide-2] However I cannont reproduce it all the time. The print icon in the page has a opened a printable view and then the print dialoge comes up. When I switched to another program, that icon did not open the preview.
    Do you notice any about:config entries that change when you see this start to happen?

  • Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

    When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

    This seems to be most common with lower resolution pictures.  You can go into settings > general > accessibility and turn reduce motion motion off and then try to rescale.  Or user a higher resolution picture, which works better with the new OS.

    After updating my iPhone to IOS 6.1.2, phone will not load or sync with itunes.  When syncin it gets stuck on waiting for changes to be applied.  What should I do?

    "What should I do?" -- Just wait a few hours and your battery will drain out.  Then you won't have to worry about loading or syncing tunes.

  • Firefox will not open on my computer, even after reinstall. Please help?

    I've been using Firefox for a long time and it's been working well. I'm on acer Windows 7. However now it will not open even when I try to run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". Chrome or Internet Explorer work fine. I also reinstalled Firefox and it still doesn't work.
    Here's the id of my latest crash (from 30.4.2014): bp-4e981129-aea6-4b23-87a2-739b42140430

  • I have upgraded from firefox 4 to firefox 5 and now it crashes and will not open at all just produces an error box to submit the fault. I have submitted and now cannot use firefox at all cannot open it cannot use it cannot do anything with it.

    I wish I could go back to version 4.
    Have spent hours now .
    Upgraded to 5 and now completely useless, will not open at all please help

    I have this problem with Firefox 5.0 too. You are forced to reboot when access to 5.0 is denied. I had so many problems with 4.0 as well. I am so tired of the crashes and seeing that popup window to send your comments, it is ridiculous. I also find in 5.0 that mouse controls are fruitless and sometimes take over. The pages will jump forward or back, the pull down menus do not function, clicking boxes in online email don't work and pages will zoom in or out by themselves. I have three computers with different operating systems that this happens with. All these updates by programmers are crap. I thought I set firefox to not update automatically, since updates seem to be worse than the previous version, but it happens anyway. I will surf for an older version or switch to something else. Too bad because after 10+ years, they are losing my loyalty.

  • Firefox will not open on my computer

    From sometime last night to today (11/18) Firefox will not open when I click on the shortcut link from my desktop. I've tried to add another profile by clicking on start/run/firefox.exe but that doesn't even work. What would be the next step?

    Do any error messages display when attempting to open Firefox?<br>
    In the task manager, is the <code>firefox.exe</code> process running?
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back soon.
